Answer:
Option "D" is most suitable answer for the question.
Explanation:
Ceteris paribus involves keeping all other variables stable. So in our situation, because we recognize that a rise in tuition fees could result in fewer people deciding to join college, we believe that other causes that we don't realize might affect fewer people choosing to join university will stay.
Therefore Option "D" is the most suitable option for the above type of problem.
Answer:
Consider the following explanation.
Explanation:
The six different strategies (spreads or combinations) the investor can follow:
1)short Butterfly spread: it’s a spread with selling one call option with the lowest strike price(XL),purchasing two call options with the medium strike price(XM) and selling one call option with the highest strike price (XH) , XL<XM<XH. The strike price (XM) is generally chosen such that its equal to the stock price and options are of same maturity. The strategy shall generate the net income from the selling of calls when the stock price deviated from the strike price XM due to the high volatility. A high jump either way guarantees a net income.
2) The Straddle combination with long one put and long 1 call with the same strike price X and maturity. Its payoff depends on the deviation of the strike price if the big jump either way is expected then either the put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness(payoffs) covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The high jump either way guarantees a big payoff from either the put or the call.
3)In the Strangle combination there is one long call with strike price (Xc) and one long put with strike price Xp,this combination is cheaper to generate due to purchase of OTM(out of the money) options. If the big jump either way is expected then either the put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness (payoffs) covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The high jump either way guarantees a big payoff from either the put or the call. It’s easier to cover all the lesser premiums paid for the call and put and generate profits with a big move.
4) The Strip combination consists of 1 call+2 put with same exercise price and maturity. If the big jump either way is expected then either the two put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The payoff generated by the 2 puts is much more when the stock moves downwards as compared to when the stock moves upwards. Investor is sure of the uncertain directional big jump but thinks that the probability of downward move is greater than the upward move.
5) The Strap combination consists of 2 calls+1 put with same exercise price and maturity. If the big jump either way is expected then either the 1 put or the 2 calls expires in the money so that the moneyness covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The payoff generated by the 2 calls is much more when the stock moves upwards as compared to when the stock moves downwards. Investor is sure of the uncertain directional big jump but thinks that the probability of upward move is greater than the downward move.
6) Short Calendar spread: short shorter term call and at the same time short longer term call therefore the income is generated by the big move from the premiums of the calls and differences in the maturity.
Answer:
Instructios are listed below
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Assume Pinkie started the year with 100 containers of ink (average cost of $ 9.10 each, FIFO cost of $ 8.60 each, LIFO cost of $ 8.00 each).
During the year, the company purchased 800 containers of ink at $10.00 and sold 600 units for $21.75 each. Pinkie paid operating expenses throughout the year, a total of $ 5,000.
FIFO:
Sales= 600*21.75= 13,050
COGS= (100*8.60 + 500*10)= 5860
Gross profit= 7190
Operating expense= 5000
Net operating profit= $2,190
LIFO:
Sales= 13,050
COGS= (600*10)= 6000
Gross profit= 7,050
Operating expense= 5000
Net operating profit= $2,050
Average-cost
Sales= 13,050
COGS= [(9.10+10)/2]*600= 5730
Gross profit= 7,320
Operating expense= 5000
Net operating profit= $2,320
Answer:
67,840 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units for material by using the FIFO method is shown below:
<u>Particulars Unit Percentage completion Equivalent units</u>
Opening
inventory 4,000 units 50% 2,000 units
Completed
& transferred
(67,000
- 5,800) 61,200 units 100% 61,200 units
Closing
inventory 5,800 units 80% 4,640 units
Total 67,840 units
Answer:
Total Expense: $ 347,000
Income: $ 135,000
Explanation:
<u><em>Income Statement Imaging Services </em></u>
<u><em>For the Month Ended March 31, 2018</em></u>
Fees earned $482,000
Wages expense $ 300,000
Rent expense $41,500
Supplies expense $3,600
Miscellaneous expense $1,900
Total Expenses $ 347,000
Income $ 135,000 Wages, rent , supplies and miscellaneous expenses are totaled and deducted from the fees earned. Fee earned is the revenue and the expenses are deducted from it. By deducting expenses from revenue we get the income.
